Two fireboats break down while battling yacht blaze


Annapolis' fireboat was called in to finish the job, but only lasted 45
minutes before its pump also went kaput.


The city must hire union folks to maintain its equipment.

Probaby flunked out mechanical E.I.T.s that in turn went to dental
school.

Dentists are working on boats up in Annapolis? No wonder they're having
problems.


BTW--I received my BSME in 1993 from Purdue, and I scored 86% on the EIT.
So where does the "flunked out" part fit in?

Maybe Kevin can let us know once again where he received his BSME and MSME.

I think that NOYB means that the city should be obligated to hire union
people for the city maintenance shops and then the problems will be
solved.

Right. That's it. :-)

They hire moonlighting dentists, and retrain them for useful work.


Not likely. The only people who work fewer hours for higher pay than union
workers are dentists. Why would we give that up?

With great difficulty, I understand.

The only advantage they offer is that they're use to bad smells, so at
first they are assigned holding tank pump out duty.


After od'ing on laughing gas and mercury all day long, nothing would be
too dirty or smelly.
